Unpopular mafia opinions

from least unpopular to most unpopular

5) anyone who says that they don't bus unless they need to or not at all is essentially claiming that they are a scum player with a narrow range of games that they are able to play
4) fluffposting contains just as much alignment indicative information as walls and cases and is more difficult for most players to fake
3) looking towny as scum is either the least or the second least important scum skill next to imitating your towngame despite the heavy value most assign to it
2) energy, charisma, and time to post in thread are in most cases the factors that determine whether a player is lynched or not, not towniness of posts.
1) MS's high replace rate is a blessing in disguise, except when it gets to the point where games are bleeding people faster than they can replace

Or anyone you scumread who town is probably never going to lynch.
investigations should target people so that their investigation is +equity whether they flip red or green.

That said

This isn't the reason why

You need to play around replacements as scum

Replacing into slots where scum replaced out of a basically unwinnable situation though :(

In post 54, Vi wrote:Question. If on D1 a Townie gets to L-1 with like 11 votes and then tactically replaces out of the game, assuming the deadline isn't a factor is it basically always the correct play as scum to unvote and let the wagon collapse?

Asking for a friend who tried not doing that. Also because the answer can have ~implications
Hard to say.

Scum tactically replace too so it's not like it hard townspews the slot if you can spin the discourse around it.

Depends why you were wagoning them in the first place too.
